The upper end of the standsuitable device and upon which is mounted ard 1st is provided with spaced cars 17 bea pivotally adjustable clamp adapted to tween which is pivoted a lever 18,

30 a device of this character equipped with a Associated with the base is a pivoted saw plunger carrying teeth engagingmembers clamping device com 'irisinp; side members or different widths whereby teeth of difl'er- 23 connected at their forward ends by a cut width may be set. the plunger member transverse bearing plate 34 and these side being freely adjustable. members are pivoted upon the base by a An additional object is the provision. ot a transverse clamping screw These side device of this character which willbe simple members 23 are formed with elongated slots and inexpensive in manufacture, highly efli- 26 so that they may receive a saw blade. the cie-nt and rapid in use, durable in service, teeth of which are to be set. The side memand a general improvement in the art. hers are further coimectod by an upwardly 40 With the above and other objects and ado'llset plate member 2? which defines a spevanta 'es in view. the invention consists in (:ies of rectangularsi oh t withi hi h i the details ot construction to bchereinatter slidably engaged a clamping block 28 car more tully described and claimed and illusried swivelly by the end of: an ariljustinry trated in the accompanying drawings in screw 29, this block being; movable into l5 which clamping engagement with a saw blade in- Figure 'l. is a side elevation of my device serted within the slots E26 uhereby to hold showing the parts in one position, the saw blade rigid with respect to the Figure 2 is a front elevation, members Figure 3 is a top plan view, Slidable through the bore US of the standto Figure 41: is a longitudinal sectional view, ard '14: is a plunger including); a relatively 10 1 Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional, view large upper portion 30 which is 'iEOl'l'flOCl. at at right angles to Figure 4t, its upper end with a plurality of notches 31. Figure 6 is a horizontal sectional view arranged in intersecting; relation and which a n i mediately above the saw blade is formed at its lower end with a reduced at clamp and i stem 32 slidahle withinthe flange 1b and car-E 11o ryinp; at its lower end head 33 termed with a plurality of? lugs 3d oi different widths. it. coil spring; is disposed within the bore 15 and engages against the flange l6 and the shoulder at the lower end 01'? the large portion 30 ot the plunger whereby to normally urge the plunger upwardly.

The ope ation oi the device is as follows:

The saw to he set is inserted through the slots 26 of the side frame members with the base line oi its teeth disposed in registration with the edge of the base 10 whereupon the screw 29 is tightened to bring the bloclt :28 into en -"igement with the saw blaoe to clamp the latter upon the bearing; plate The ll-plate 119 is adjusted upon 7 the base to bring the ends of its arms at the pro or loca u-on with respec; to the base line oi the teeth. The screw is loosened and t e side members 23 are moved so that the saw blade will be disposed at the proper angle so that when the teeth of the saw are moved onto the base they will have the proper inclination with respect to the plane of the blade, utter which the clamping screw 25 is tightened'to holc this adjustment. The lever 18 is then. swung: upwardly out of engagement with the ihng'er and the plunger is then rotated to bilng the proper one of the lugs 34 in position above a tooth to be the proper lug of course depending upon the width oi? the tooth to be set. This hav ing; been etl'ected the operator swings the lever 18 downwardly into on ageinent with the notch 31 aligning therewith and presses the lever downwardly with torce whereupon the plunger will be moved downwardly and the proper lug; 34 be brought into engagement with the tooth for forcing" the latter flatly onto the base. The above described action o't course repeated tor the. alternate teeth to be set. one set of teeth. being set the saw blade is eversed and the otheralternate teeth are set in the opposite direction, as will be readily apparent.

From the. "foregoing descriptio m study oi the drawings it will be obvious t i I have thus provided simple and consequently inexpensive device by means of which saw teeth oil? any length or width may be quic lrl and easily set at a uniform angle with very little effort and in a very short time, adius'tme t being provided to meet every conaingenly which might a ise.

construction and arrangement ol' parts as will not depart from the spirit of (he ll1\(ll-- tion or the scope oi the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. A device ol the chaiau'ter desrriluwl comprisingr a base adapted to be secured upon a support, a standard rising from said base. a lever pivoted upon said standard, a, plunl'ev slidable through said standard and eug'a y able by said head, a saw tooth engaging lu; on the lower end of said plunger. and a saw blade holding; Frame pivoted in straddliiu: relation upon said base, said frame including: end members formed with slots tor the accommodation of the saw blade and lurther includin r a transverse bearing plate portion connecting the side members. and a clamping block disposed for cooperative relation with said bearingplate portion.

2. A device of the character dcscribml comprising a base adapted to be secured upon a support, a standard risingfrom said base, tiltable saw blade holding; means can ried by the base, a lever pivoted upon the standard, a. plunger slidable through said standard and engageable by said lever. and a head on the lower end ot the plunger formed with a plurality of radial lugs of varying" widths, the plunger being rotat ably adjustable whereby to bring a. selected lug into engagement with a tooth to be set, the upper end of the plunger being formed with a plurality of intersecting notches corresponding to and aligning with said lugs.

3. A device of the character described comprising a base adapted. to be clamped upon a support. a stanoard rising from said base, a saw holding frame pivoted upon said base in straddling relation thereto and adapted to be secured at aselected angular ielination, said frame being slotted for the reception of the saw blade and including a transversebearing: plate and u iuovrblo ClfliflDlnQ block for gripping a. saw blade. :1 spring-pressed plunger slidable through said standard, a lever pivoted upon the standard and engageable with the plunger. and 21 plurality of different sized saw tooth engaging lugs on the lower end of the plunger, the plunger being rotatably :uljustable whereby to bring a selected buy into engagement with a. tooth to be set.
